The Barnes VOR-TX 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition delivers superior terminal performance with its all-copper TSX bullet construction. This premium hunting and tactical ammunition combines proven accuracy with devastating expansion characteristics that outperform traditional lead-core bullets.
What Makes This Different
The Triple-Shock X (TSX) bullet features an all-copper construction that retains 99% of its original weight upon impact, ensuring deep penetration and maximum energy transfer. Unlike conventional bullets that fragment and lose mass, the TSX expands to nearly twice its original diameter while maintaining structural integrity. The boat tail design reduces drag and improves ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories and enhanced long-range performance.Key Features
